Cool... now lets just fund cancer and hospice care so kids can focus on things other than plugging the gaps in our failing systems.

Hmm, one of my friends’ kids slept outside for a couple of years just for the hell of it. Who knew he could have made so much money?

Preparing for when he graduates from college and can't afford to rent or buy a house.

When my friend was in high school, he decided he was over sharing a room with his brother. He moved into a tent into the backyard, ran an extension cord through the window so he could hook up his stereo. And lived back there for six weeks or so until his parents gave in and threw some sheet rock up in the garage to build him a little room of his own.

  1. How does the act of sleeping in a tent earn money? Since when does anyone give a fuck when a kid sleeps in a tent? Let alone shower him with money?

  2. Who gave him authorization to camp out in front of London Zoo, Ten Downing Street, Twickenham Rugby Stadium? And did his parents stay with him while he slept out there in front of these huge public venues?

  3. "Max has directly funded 15 nurses for a whole year"? What does that mean? He's paying nurses' salary with money he somehow earned while sleeping? Were the nurses not going to be paid otherwise?

>"Max's final fundraiser will host three music stages along with an exhibition of previously unseen movie memorabilia. Brad Pitt's sword & shield from the film Troy and the original board from the Jumanji film are expected to be included on display. There will also be a guest appearance from Welsh Game of Thrones actor and stuntman Ian Whyte."

And he was awarded a British Empire Medal.

Please forgive my pragmatic critical thinking, but this all reeks of illuminati bullshit.

Convincing people to pay him £700 grand for sleeping outside in the balmy temperatures of North Devon is a great achievement. He should probably become a politician. In Northern UK we make children join the cubs and scouts. That way they sleep outside (in the cold) for free and are forced to enjoy it.

Why did 15 nurses need a 10-year-old boy to sleep in a tent for 3 years in order to have their salaries paid? Were these volunteer nurses suffering and starving until some little boy could raise enough money to pay them for the work they're doing at the hospital?
